Yes, it's a known problem and work is being done on it, AFAIK. It
doesn't happen if you mount the MSDOS partitions later "by hand"
(or you might try a script that waits a few seconds after booting
everything).
The bug might be fixed by John Dyson's latest patches (they're in
the latest CTM delta), though I haven't tried the MSDOS fs since
them.

Anyway, I seem to remember from recent discussions here that VFAT
is not supported in the MSDOS fs code in FreeBSD...
